The plot was excellent! Thrilling and really thought provoking. It was hard to imagine the things they went through especially while being held captive and then crossing the desert after that. The story was pretty much predictable in the middle but that did not stop me from enjoying this book. The camaraderie between the past books' heroes and Zach is surely a thing to be noted. I love it!! I very much enjoyed their banters and their obvious care for each other. It was so adorable reading about their babies. I sure hope that there will be a next book after this. =)...more

I can honestly say that i didn't know what to expect in a firefighting novel. Turns out, it can make one'sMy very first fire fighter hero.. a blast!

I can honestly say that i didn't know what to expect in a firefighting novel. Turns out, it can make one's night a hot one! haha yea. Hot, scorching hot and yet really heart warming when it came down to it. The main characters are just perfect for each other. The introduction of the other characters is a bit off for me because sometimes the author uses their first names, sometimes last that it's hard to keep up. Anyway.. the plot is good.. thrilling and really heart wrenching. The dangers of being the one who puts out the fire....hmm....more

Yes, the whole plot of the series thickens! I'm almost scared to read the last book since i've grown attached to station five. Anyway.. PLOT THICKENS

Yes, the whole plot of the series thickens! I'm almost scared to read the last book since i've grown attached to station five. Anyway.. Tommy.. aww my Tommy... the things he lost. I hope that his hand heals! I'm glad that him and Shea got past their histories and became happy. Their story is of course, a very interesting one since it somehow introduces new characters and a hint of a very dangerous enemy.

Here's one story that i think i'll always remember. I was really curious about this. I thoughtOne of my best Action - Suspense - Romance read so far!

Here's one story that i think i'll always remember. I was really curious about this. I thought I Team was a group of mercenaries or special ops. I never thought that it's a friggin news team! Genius!

The story revolved around a writer and a senator. Yeah, an unlikely couple but they worked things out. I love the plot! totally dig the paper! Reece is totally dreamy! He's everything i want in a hero! Smart sexy and realllllyy sweet. On the other hand, i love Kara because she's like WONDER WOMAN. She does everything and she's very strong. Her character was built to withstand pressure and everything else. I was so engrossed and i really wanted to find out who's behind everything. To tell you the truth, i thought the mastermind was the hero's best friend. I'm still sad for him though.

Anyway... i was strangely reminded of this while reading Extreme Exposure:

yea! Maid in Manhattan. Not that Kara was a maid.. but she's a single mom and Reese is a Senator! ^_^

Where do i start? Well damn, this has got to be my most emotional action - suspense romance novel so BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL AMAZINGLY PERFECT STORY!!!

Where do i start? Well damn, this has got to be my most emotional action - suspense romance novel so far. Sitting here right now at 1am thinking of what to type.. my mind is still in scrambles. The story left my brain foggy. I am one happy reader.

First of all, this is one good getting-back together story. The main characters knew each other waaayyy back and rekindled the flame. That rarely happens and in fiction, rarely works for me.. and yet.. this novel just wormed it's way into my heart. Hunt and Sophie met when they were still teenagers and then went on separate ways. After 12 years, circumstances make their worlds clash again and then things got hot, heavy and action packed. Hunt is one great hero! He sacrificed his own freedom for his sister. He's always thinking of others before himself. He had lots of bad experiences during the time that he was imprisoned and yet, in the end, he was willing to go back. Sophie on the other hand.. i admire her for her courage and faith. She always believed in Hunt. The plot had so many twists and turns but one thing remained constant, the story is interesting! I was never bored. Not one bit. I sweeaarr i'm so happy about the ending right now i could just die. I wasn't surprised that Julian and Hunt became close! I mean, they kinda have the same background. I love it that they all welcomed Hunt and gave him a second chance(yeaaahh everything's all about Hunt! I love Hunt! Go Team Hunt!!!).

This is one helluva novel! i admit to crying at some parts (uhuh sappy sappy sappy me) and to also to jumping for joy at some especially the ending!! WHAT AN ENDING! I can't help but set high expectations for the next book.......more

The story line is great. Interesting that i never suspected who the culprit was or in this case, were. I was totally shocked. For me, this is a really strong start for a series. The characters were nicely introduced. I love it that the author did not ruin it with too much povs. To me, this is a satisfying read. I was mystified. ...more

I like how Cindy Gerard wove the plot for this. I think it was very well thought of and very detailed. It's like wFast paced, action packed hot novel!

I like how Cindy Gerard wove the plot for this. I think it was very well thought of and very detailed. It's like watching a movie.

I love how Jenna knows what she wants and did everything in her power to get it. I also love how Gabe eventually gave in to her and became her white knight. They had good chemistry. Their banters were sweet and sometimes hilarious.

This one's new to me. It's my first time reading about Navajos. It sure spiked up my curiosity. The interaction wDefinitely a refreshing read for me.

This one's new to me. It's my first time reading about Navajos. It sure spiked up my curiosity. The interaction with the Indians fascinated me. It's good to have read some of their culture.

The characters are ... hmm.. how to put it.. NEW? amazing? lovable? oh i definitely loved them alright! Kat is a really strong character. The things they went through .. gosh, i teared up when i thought Gabe was really dead. I'm also glad that i got a glimpse of what's been happening with the other characters in the past books.. especially Hunt and Darcangelo.

I continue to love Ms. Clare for writing such a wonderful book. ...more

Yes, i think Lady Luck has the best story for Colorado Mountain Series so far. Ty is just the man!!! He's my kind of guy! Man of few woBEST.STORY.EVER

Yes, i think Lady Luck has the best story for Colorado Mountain Series so far. Ty is just the man!!! He's my kind of guy! Man of few words.. but when he speaks, he's either intense or seriously sweet. I love how he is with Lexie. They're just MFEO (MADE FOR EACH OTHER!! ^_^ ).. Lexie is definitely someone that i wanna be friends with! She knows when to fight back but she's also not afraid to cry sometimes. That's what girls do! She's creative, fun, sweet and really lovable. Like i said, MFEO!

I also enjoyed the plot. This one's got more action and a wicked web of conspiracy. I like how it ended .. safe to say i like everything about it!

I dunno if it's just me, but I think that this series jus★★ AND YET ANOTHER WOOT!!! ★★

WHO DOESN'T WANT THE KICK ASS WOMAN TO GET THE HOT KICKASS MAN??

I dunno if it's just me, but I think that this series just keeps on getting better and better. Every single moment makes me again... WANT TO BE INSIDE THE BOOK.

I have been very very intrigued about VANCE. Turns out, he is my ideal man. Tall, dark, handsome, badass, drives a Harley and SWEEEEETTT. I had no problems loving him. As for Jules, oh well, who wouldn't want to be in her shoes? From what the book says, she's hot, she can handle her self, she can handle her boys and she can handle Vance. What I love most about her character is that she cares about almost everyone.. and when she cares for someone, she cares A LOT. . . I MEAN. . . A LOT, LOT. It's been mentioned in the book that the next thing she's gonna do is fight world hunger or something like that. This is also the reason behind her being a vigilante. Through it all, she became tough... but she's also soft and she cries a lot, which makes her soooo adorable. I actually love their story because she's a breath of fresh air. I mean, she can totally fight.. and that's a first here.

Here's a taste of her fighting skills:

SPOILER AAA - LERT

“Shut up, homo,” Jackie sneered at Stevie and she barely got out the “mo” part of “homo” when I lost all thoughts of peacemaking and worrying about my friends.It was then that my head crackin’ mamma jamma snapped into place and I moved.I took Jackie by the wrist, swung it in a wide arc, spinning her around. I ducked, positioning myself and her, I bounced her off my back and she went flying into the tables. She crashed, as did the tables and all of our drinks (and a number of empties) to the floor.I watched Jackie struggle amongst the overturned tables, her arms and legs pumping, soaked with appletinis, cosmopolitans and rum and Cokes when I felt my hair being tugged backwards.I reached back, grabbed both wrists of the hands that were in my ponytail and whipped one of Jackie’s friends around to my front. I felt another girl grab at me but I stayed focused and planted my feet, dropped one of her wrists and flipped her on her back using what had become my signature move. She landed with a thud of flesh on flesh, right on top of Jackie and both women grunted in very unladylike ways.Then I dealt with the next one who was pulling at my shirt. I tagged her with a calf in the back of her knees, she teetered, I gave her a nasty shove in chest and she landed on Jackie and the other girl with a high-pitched screech.I spun around and confronted the last two, lifting my hands and wriggling my fingers at them. I was too focused to notice that everyone had stopped to stare. Everyone, even the strippers.“You want a piece of this?” I taunted and jumped forward once. They jumped back, bitch-pouty looks gone, their eyes were wide with fear.I smiled at them and came back around. Jackie’s friends were up and were helping Jackie up too.I pushed forward, shoved her friends out of the way and grabbed onto Jackie’s sweater, taking a bunch of it in both of my fists. I advanced, forcing her backward until she was at the stage. I leaned in and she had no choice but to arch her back over the stage.“Stevie come here,” I yelled, my face in Jackie’s, her eyes wide and freaked out, my hands not leaving her sweater.“Girlie, I’m here,” Stevie said quietly from my side, “you can let the skank go.”“Apologize,” I snapped at Jackie, not listening to Stevie.“I… I’m sorry,” she stammered, not taking her eyes off me.“Not to me, you stupid bitch, to him. Apologize!”“Holy crap,” I heard Indy say from behind me.“You got that right, sister,” Jet muttered from behind me too.Jackie’s eyes moved to Stevie and she repeated her apology.“You ever gonna use that word again?” I asked when her eyes came back to me.She shook her head (and hair). I moved back, pulled her up with me and then pushed her away from me so she staggered back into the stage.“Am I ever going to see you again?” I kept at her.She shook her head (and hair) again.“Go!” I clipped.She stood frozen.I took a step into her. “Move!”She moved, her friends moved, they moved as fast as their high heels would take them. I watched them go until they disappeared.I straightened my back and cocked my head to the side quickly as I turned back to the room. The whole place, not just my posse but everyone, was staring at me.Smithie was close, standing by Daisy, arms crossed, eyes on me.Fuck.We were going to be ejected, I was sure of it.“Sorry, I’ll pay for any damage,” I said to him.“Shit, bitch. I’m thinkin’ about askin’ you to make that a regular feature at Smithie’s.” He shocked me by saying. “Hot babe kicks ass. They’ll line up to see it.”

“You freaked when you got the flowers and the way you told me it was over, I knew you needed that and was willin’ to give it to you but I was takin’ one last night. You agreed. I used that night to get you to stop thinkin’ crazy and pushin’ me away and it worked.”“It didn’t.”“You started redecorating my cabin, you thanked me for the flowers, you let me make love to you in the moonlight and again in the morning. You showered with me, you held on tight on the bike when I brought you home. Is that the behavior of a woman who’s just broken up with you?”Hmm.He had a point.“You didn’t call me for three days,” I kept at it.“I was workin’ and it’s been intense between us. You freak out any time I get close. You needed space to get your head together. I backed off for a few days and gave it to you.”Okay, that made sense. It was even nice.Still.“I do not freak out,” I snapped.He raised his brows.Fuck!I was freaking out as we talked.I glared at him because I didn’t have a leg to stand on and I knew it but my pride wouldn’t let me admit it out loud. He watched me then his face started to go soft and sexy and I knew that he knew my thoughts.Vance Crowe totally had my number.Damn.Time to move on.“All right, well… whatever.” It was weak but I didn’t know what else to say.I caught his grin definitely this time before his face disappeared into my neck. He knew he’d won in more ways than one.“Next time I give you space, I’ll tell you,” he said into my neck.

--I think this is sweet since it's the first time I've ever heard of any of these boys giving their women "space"... and Vance just have a way with words. :)

“He could have blown off half your face, you survived, you’d still be lyin’ beside me.”I blinked.He didn’t pause for me to wrap my head around that mind-blowing statement, he went on. “One of those bullets could have torn through your spinal cord, you’d be lyin’ beside me.”Oh my God.His arms got tighter, pressing my body against his and his face came super-close. “This is it. You and me. No matter what,” he said.“Crowe –” I whispered, so stunned, so moved, I thought my heart had to have stopped beating.“No matter what,” he said, his voice fierce and strong and rumbling through me. “You told me I was home to you and I get it. You’re home to me. I’ve never had a home. I like the one I found and I’m not losin’ it. No matter what.”

--See? He really knows what to say to make my heart.. i mean Jules' heart flutter... ❤❤❤

I was buying three new silky, lacy and satiny underwear sets when call number seven came, Vance.“Where are you?” he asked, not taking my instruction in common civility that you should identify yourself, he launched right in with macho-speak.“Buying underwear at Nordstrom’s with Roxie.”Silence.“Vance?”“Give me a minute, Princess.”“Why?”“I’m enjoying a mental picture.”

--The guy also has a sense of humor, duh! Who wouldn't wanna be Jules now huh?

Here are some other scenes / lines that I really liked:

“Which means, if someone like you, someone as unbelievably beautiful as you, as crazy and sweet as you, filled with attitude and courage with her heart in the right place, in a lot of right places even though her head normally isn’t… if someone like you shares her bed with me, then that says something about me.”Oh… my… God.

--I'll say that again... OHMYGOD!

“What’s on for your day?” I asked.“Never know where the day’ll take me,” he replied.I sighed and leaned into his knee. “That’d be nice.” I took another bite of Cream of Wheat.“Jules?”“What?” I asked with my mouth full (Auntie Reba would have had a conniption). Then I swallowed.“Wherever it takes me, good to know in the end, it’ll lead back to you.”Luckily I had swallowed because my mouth dropped open.

--Honey, mine just did!

"We all hugged and told each other we loved each other, waxed on about how great the night was and that we’d be best friends forever"

--Where can I grab a ticket for this hugfest? I really really need one cuz i wanna be on'a them!!!

So there... Another one made me say WOOT WOOT!!! I wish that this series wouldn't end. I'm trying dammmnnn hard to slow down... but I'm failing miserably. I just can't get enough of them. So onto the next book. . . . ;p

P.S.

I KINDA GOT MY WISH IN A WIERD TWISTED WAY...

See, on my review of Rock Chick Redemption, I repeatedly said that I wanna be one of the characters. I wanna be one of them... WELL, when I typed that, I wanted to be a PERSON character... not A CAR. But I guess since it's a vintage RED CAMARO... I guess that'll do. I'm officially in this book.. at least my name is.

image:

--I don't know if this one's vintage since I know next to nothing about cars, but I think this one's cool. I want this to be me.. or Jules' car, Hazel.ヅ...more

So when I figured out the plot of this book, you won't believe how ecstatic I was. I love Luke, no doubt about it... even if he flirted with other men's women in the past book. I love him because HE'S SIMPLY HOT and lovable. I admit that he threw a fast one on Ava, but hey, it's not fast if you knew each other and liked each other for almost your whole life. And if I was Ava? LOL I'll go with the flow no matter how fast it is. HAHA

I love how Ava pined for Luke. I mean, I don't love it that she had to go through all that... I just love it that she continued loving Luke after all those years.

It's like The Ugly Duckling + Cinderella

--Well, she wasn't really ugly per se, but she became more beautiful. Cinderella because of her two evil sisters. HMF

I love how Ava came through after everything she's been through. She became tougher and I believe, a fun character. I just don't think she was honest with her self in the beginning. I mean a man hater? really? total bull. HAHA.

"Men did stink; this was true. Men were scum. All of them. Luke too."

--Uhm. I don't think so.

Anywayyy... Ava finally accepted that Luke was going to be in her life and all was well.. except for those times that she wanted to "think" and she wanted Luke to "let her go". Eventually, with the help of everyone, including the other rock chicks, she was able to see the light. LOL.

I actually love the plot because almost everyone were mobilized. They all plotted. They all talked about what to do and they all helped out. Solidarity for life!!! ;p

Luke and Ava's story is like a twisted modern fairy tale. :D

Here are some scenes that I loved in this novel...

“Quit kissing me, Riley, you’ll give me cooties.”“Fuck off,” he returned, still grinning at me.I put the phone to my ear and said, “Yo.”Silence.“Hello?” I called into the silence.“Who’s Riley?”Fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck.It was Luke.“Luke?”“Who the fuck is Riley?”Wow. He sounded pissed off. As in, extremely pissed off.“Um… a friend?” it came out as a question, like I needed Luke to answer it for me.“You didn’t tell me about any friends this morning.”“You didn’t ask.”“Okay, then I’m askin’ now.”“About what?”“How many friends do you have?”“A lot of them.”“I’m talkin’ about the ones who kiss you.”

--What can I say? I like Luke even when he's jealous... actually, especially when he's jealous! ^__^

"He ignored my bitchiness. “We’re gonna talk.”Right then, still drunk and feeling in a shitty mood, I thought this was an excellent idea.“Good. I have a few things to say,” I informed him.He stared at me a beat then said, “Shoot.”“First, I’m confiscating this t-shirt,” I announced.He kept staring at me. Then he said, “Come again?”“From this point on, your Triumph tee is now my Triumph tee,” I declared.His lips did that twitch thing like he was trying not to laugh.I crossed my arms. “I’m being perfectly serious.”“Babe, I’ll make you a deal. As long as you share my bed, the t-shirt is yours.”“No. The t-shirt is mine forever,” I countered.He shook his head. “You’re not sharin’ my bed, the tee stays here.”“I’ll give you twenty-five dollars for it,” I started to haggle.The lip twitch came back and it looked like he was losing his battle at biting back his smile. “No,” he said.“Fifty.”“No.”“One hundred dollars!” I cried a little loudly because I had never paid a hundred dollars for a t-shirt in my life and I was worried he would accept.“I gave you an offer, it’s the only one you’re gonna get.”“Okay then, I’ll steal it,” I blabbed.His body started shaking and I was pretty sure it was with silent laughter. “Probably shouldn’t tell me your plan to steal my tee,” he advised."

--I swear I was really laughing out loud here! HAHA.. what a golden t-shirt! I want one too!

“You scared me,” I blurted in a whisper, do not ask me why. He still had twenty-six years, three hundred and sixty-four days left on his Silent Treatment Sentence.His head stopped moving and he looked from my mouth to my eyes.“You were gone a long time. I was worried something happened to you.” Now why did I say that? Why was I talking at all?Still in a quiet voice I kept sharing, unable to stop myself. “I don’t know you anymore. I don’t know who you are, what you do. But I know that scar on your belly isn’t from an appendectomy.”Oh… my… God.Someone shut me up.He rolled me to my side facing him and both his arms came around me as he said, “Ava.”“No, Luke. I thought I was protecting myself against all things men. After last night, I’m protecting myself from something a lot scarier. I’m not one of those women who can hack that kind of life. I don’t want any part of it.”“So this is your new excuse?” he asked, instead of being accusatory, his voice was soft, gentle, affectionate.“It’s not an excuse, Luke. I figure you’ll screw me over or leave me, one way or another, and I’ll end up alone. I’m alone now and I’m happy with it. Why go through the pain of losing someone again?”“Someone you care about,” he said.“What?”“Go through the pain of losing someone you care about.”

--I like this scene because this was after Ava's epic silent treatment. I swear, that was a good one!

“I want the old you to come back and make me laugh. I want the new you to toss your attitude around and make me hard. I liked comin’ home tonight to you, even knowin’ you were pissed at me. I liked leavin’ last night for work, knowin’ you were in my bed. I might like it for a week or I might like it for a lot longer. I can’t make any promises. All I know is, I want you now and you want me even though you won’t admit it. And I’m gonna do whatever it takes to give us what we want for as long as it lasts until however it ends.”

--AWWW Luke!

“I’m not stupid, I know your heart’s involved in this and I’ve never, not once in all the time you’ve known me, given you the idea that I won’t handle it with care.”Oh… my… God.Someone, shoot me, kidnap me, cuff me to a sink, anyone! My mind screamed.“Luke –” I interrupted.“I’m talkin’,” he bit off.I shut up.“I don’t put up with the shit you’ve handed me the last week because you’re some fuckin’ piece I want to conquer. I put up with it because I’ve liked you since you were eight years old. You made me laugh. You understood me. You looked out for me when no one else fuckin’ bothered and you acted like you thought I could move mountains and I needed someone who thought that about me because my Dad sure as fuck didn’t.”“Please, stop,” I whispered because now I really needed quiet space in order to process this latest episode with Luke from waking to now, all of it.He ignored me. “I never expected I’d want you in my bed but I always knew I wanted you in my life. The fuckin’ second you looked at my mouth in the office, though, I knew I would stop at nothin’ to get you in my bed. And I thought then too that for the first time in my life I might do somethin’ both my Dad and I would be proud of, and that’s bein’ with you.”My throat went so tight, the breath I sucked in sounded ragged.He didn’t just say that. Did he?“Get this into your head Ava, I’m not gonna do anything to fuck it up between us but I’m also not gonna let you do anything to fuck it up either.”

--You go Luke!!!

“There are two kinds of women. The ones you go to bed with and the ones you wanna wake up with. Lots of the first, not many of the last. If a man’s lucky, he’ll find the last.”

--This is such a sweet thing to say, Luke. :)

Oh well, I had been waiting since I was eight. I had created extravagant daydreams about it. I had dreamed of it at night. I had written about how I would do it in my diary. I had hoped for a chance to do this, for over twenty years. I had even prayed for it.There was no reason to wait any longer. If I waited any longer I’d be a serious wuss.And there was one thing I knew about myself after the last couple of months, I was no wuss.“Lucas Stark,” I whispered, “I love you.”

In case you were wondering, that's 30 stars. Why give 30 stars? Umm, because I just can.

Seriously, what is it with KA n★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

In case you were wondering, that's 30 stars. Why give 30 stars? Umm, because I just can.

Seriously, what is it with KA novels that make me finish it within a day?

I've been jumping from one book to another for days. Suddenly, I just loaded one of my KA back ups (yea, I call it back up since I ALWAYS like, love or adore her books..it's like A SURE FIRE) and surprise! WHADDYA KNOWWW I FINISHED IT AND I LOVEEE ITTT (ugh i'm such a sarcastic girllyy).

I TOTALLY ADORE JOE! IF I CAN JUST PUT MY REVIEW IN ALL CAPS FOR HIM.. I WOULD. But it'll be weird. So no.I love him because even if he was a frikkin asshole at first, he made up for it. He paid it all off. I love him because he's sweet to those two AWESOME TEENS that Vi have. After they got together, he was always there for Vi and her family. It's like he was able get an automatic family and darn if he didn't fit right into that perfect picture.

Vi on the other hand, hmmm.. let's just say that she just grew on me. Mostly, I just love her for what she does for Joe and her kids. Outside of that, I'm not her biggest fan. I get that what she's been through was really really hard and she didn't need another hard, fucked up thing in her life... but hey, she would've done well without the JOE WHILE MIKE thing.

What happened to them was not a stroll to Disneyland. It was a really bumpy ride. Death is not an easy subject. I sometimes even shy away from novels that has a "dead husband" or a "dead wife" on it. But this one's good. It makes the reader feel that yes, love and loss will happen, but there's a ray of sunshine out there. World's only over when you say and you believe that it is.

Anyway, the story is good. It made me happy since again, this is KA we're talking about. She's my BEST PAL WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING HAPPY ENDINGS. I'm tellin y'all! She's just plain awesome with stories. I'm even holding back on reading the rest of her books since I know that days like these would come. Days like one book cannot hold my attention for 2 minutes.

So there. I had a blast reading about Joe and Vi's bizarre-affair-lie-set up turned full-blown-happily-ever-after PLUS TWO OF THE COOLEST TEENS IN FICTION LAND. ^_^...more

Way better than the first one since the heroine is a lot more kickass!!

Yes, I do think that Sybella is better than Ismae,EPIC

This one is truly epic!!!

Way better than the first one since the heroine is a lot more kickass!!

Yes, I do think that Sybella is better than Ismae, although I love Ismae too. Sybella just have something about her. Maybe it's her wits, her strength or her endurance... it may even be the horrors that she has seen living with the enemy, but yeah, I love her.

There's only one word that would describe her completely and here it is:

Yes, I do think that she's a FIGHTER through and through. From start to finish, Sybella has been fighting. Fighting for her life, fighting for other people's lives, fighting for justice, fighting other people's stubbornness, fighting her own darn feelings, fighting the nature of her early upbringing, fighting for people's respect, even fighting for small girls who are frail and sick.

Just.. fighting and fighting. If I were her, I would've given up. However, our heroine is no coward. She endured and pushed through everything. I love her for not giving up. I even love her for loving Beast. Believe me, they weren't the "lovey-dovey-hearts-flowers" couple...and yet, they made my heart melt because they accepted each other just like that. I understand why Beast keeps on clocking her to make her faint. It's just her own fault for being so ready to fight/die whichever.

When Sybella triumphed in the end, I was soooooo full of celebratory energy that I even jumped for joy. She deserves all the praises and more!

Needless to say, I am in love with the plot of this book. It makes you think hard, feel hard and then hope for the best for all characters. The main villain IS A VILLAIN from start to finish so there's no confusion there. I think it made the story better. Loyalties are tested, even their tempers are tested. It's nice to know that even as bloodthirsty as they are (the main characters), they still have their self control intact.

This is a very good story about redemption and how revenge can really be sweet sometimes, especially when you are a badass assassin who gets away fast with a captain for a partner.

I hope everyone can read this!

Firs thoughts about the book when the cover was revealed:

I can't decide if the cover is hot or NOT... hmm

Now that I've read it. I can forgive the weirdness of the cover. It's okay.. I guess. :)...more

What can I say? I'm a big fan of alpha males, even ones with weird names.

The plot of this book is fairly new tDAMN GOOD! FRAKKIN HOT AND DAMN GOOD!!!

What can I say? I'm a big fan of alpha males, even ones with weird names.

The plot of this book is fairly new to me. I was indeed submerged into bikers' world. It's a very chaotic, daring, even dirty world..and yet, our heroine managed to blend right in. She had a hard time accepting it at first, but eventually, with her genuine affection for everyone, she was able to adapt to that world while her brother was still being stupid. The hero, on the other hand, was very very VERY VERY badass and protective of what is his. It was all very surreal. Things weren't all that great with the hero and heroine. There were lots of rough patches, but man, was it all very entertaining. They were both fire crackers waiting to light up. I love that this book showed two povs and a very nice arrangement of the timeline. It made the book more interesting and logical. The conflict near the ending was such badasssss that I think it's my fave part.

If you wanna read about alpha-heroes, badass girls and hot scenes... this one's definitely for you. It will make you smile, be frustrated and satisfied in the end.

I think I'll read more novels like this one. ;p

P.S. If you like Kristen Ashley's works, you may want to read this as well! :)...more

I have been waiting for Adam's story since Lexi's book. His story blew my mind. I can't believe I didn't read this right away.

I was so afraid that I'll end up hating this 3rd book in the series considering how much I hated the second one. However, it surpassed my expectations. I love it! It's definitely worth the time.

Adam is a cop who's kind of a ladies man. He's just too flirty and handsome and hot for his own good. Little did I know (because of the TOO LITTLE information about him in the last two books) that Adam has been through a lot. He's sort of heartbroken... and get this, his heart was broken by none other than his WIFE. Well, it's a little complicated really. What happened to them is not a walk in the park. It runs deep and is not easily erased especially when it all just became a tangled mess. One thing that surprised me is how showy and vocal Adam os about his feelings for Mia, his wife. He's so honest about it. In fact, he's too honest that he sometimes say stupid things. I like that he's so afraid that Mia will leave again and he'd feel as if he'll die again. Yeah I'm a cruel, cruel reader. haha. It's just so cute how he always looks for Mia and would be super agitated with a mere hint that Mia would leave him. Awesome guy... noy afraid to show his feelings... and the ears, oh the tears. ;p (see? cruel. haha)

Moving on, Mia... Where do I begin? Mia is a woman who has experienced a lot more than what women her age have. She's a strong one, i give you that. I like that she has a backbone to spar with Adam verbally. I like that she can be so sweet sometimes. Actually, my only problem with her is her trust issues. I hate how she can just jump to a conclusion and keep that to herself. I thoight girls are supposed to be the ones who're vocal, but no. Mia proves that wrong because most of her discussions are i ternal. She battles with herself regularly. To gove in to Adam or not to give in? To leave Adam or not to leave? To smile at Adam or not to smile?... She was always thinking to herself. Anyway it all became better in the end sp that's all that matters to me.

The story line is definitely better than the second one. These two will make your head spin because one minute they're kissing, the next they're throwing stuff, then they're making out again and the some. It's hot and very entertaining. There's a lot of heartache in there, but once they get past that, ot's all good.

I really really love Adam's character here. ♥♥♥♥

I love this story.

I hope that the next one is better... although I'll be very angry with Missy. errrr....more

I have been waiting for this moment. The moment wherein I can say that I know Ally's story. From book 1, Ally has been a constant mWAYYYYY E.P.I.C!!!

I have been waiting for this moment. The moment wherein I can say that I know Ally's story. From book 1, Ally has been a constant mystery to me. She's the constant fixture in my ROCK CHICK WORLD. (Yes, I consider it my own other world. ;p). Now that I have finished it... I proudly say that it surpassed my expectations. Indeed, it's a perfect end to a perfect series.

First off, if you have been following the Rock Chicks from day one, you already know that Ally is a badass, strong, fun loving, jaw dropping (with her lines), GLUE-TO-THE-GROUP, BEF-TO-INDY, LITTLE-SISTER-TO-TWO-BADASSES and SAVIOR-TO-MY-FAVE-FAYE!!! What you don't know is how mushy, cheesy or sweet Ally can be for people that she loves. She'll fight tooth and nails not to cry, but damn it's so good when she does because you'd feel it as a reader. I love her determination as a woman and as a fighter. She did not let anything hinder her from reaching her dream. I definitely love how she fell for Ren. It was instantaneous, as it was not (that's confusing but if you read it, you'll see).

REN, REN, REN... Where do I even begin? We know from the previous books that Ren is a real hottie, badass, part of a crime empire. What we did not know is just how sweet this badass can really be. I swear YOU WILL FEEL IT IN YOUR BONES.He's sooooo badass that when he flips his sweet side on? DAYYYUUMMM. I love how he can stand up to anybody for Ally. I love his protectiveness and I love how he accepted EVERYTHING about her. He deserves all the kudos for APOLOGIZING and making it a VERY SWEET APOLOGY. I love how he held on and I love how he made the fairy tale happen.

Their story is all about coming together, friendship, family, humor, love, hate, acceptance, closure and happily-ever-afters. It has action, hot moments, sweet nothings and a kaleidoscope of other scenes.

Needless to say, this is the power couple to me. They made me love them all over again, and I mean ALL OF THEM. This book is just... so precious and I know in my heart that I'm not going to forget this.

So that is how a mob book goes.

Interesting...

Carter Reed is my first mob book. I've only seen glimpses of them in other books. As it turns out, It really is what I expected it to be. It's action packed. Guns, knives and fighting? Yeah, they're all here.

HOT BADASS GUY? OH YEAH DEFINITELY HERE AS WELL!!

I now know why the title is CARTER REED. This book is totally HIM. ALL HIM. I mean, Emma is the narrator most of the time and this is her story. However, the feel of the book is all him. It's edgy, hot and dangerous. I love how he cared for Emma all those years. I love how he protected her and I love how he loves her.

I thought Emma was just some damsel at first. She experiences something life changing and she asks Carter for help and holds on to him always after that. She was full of guilt that she frustrated me at some point. Anyway, she is more resilient than I thought and she accepted Carter through and through. She even stood by him during darker times. I admire her character a lot. :) I even wish I was her, even with the bad stuff.

The story line is good. It's mysterious, exciting and full of action. The characters are imperfectly perfect. It's all good.
